Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts

Chapter 276: “The Leader of The Death Eaters”

Sean didn’t raise his head. He just glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

“May I ask matter this time?” He took a sip of the pumpkin juice and said slowly.

The middle-aged wizard who walked over was wearing the uniform of the Guards. He was tall, with a typical Caucasian appearance, and spoke English with a Dutch accent.

“Since you know it’s an order, why do not obey?” The man looked down at Sean.

“Is there such a thing in wizarding laws that I have to?” Sean said unhurriedly, “Or do the Guards already have the right to bypass the laws?”

The man’s tone did not change at all, “The goal of the establishment of the Guards is to protect the wizarding world. We are never far from that. Everything we do is to make this world a better place.”

“Very well, can you tell me which clause you use to order me?” Sean didn’t budge.

“The investigation regulations of the International Confederation of Wizards are distributed to the Ministries of Magic of various countries, and the investigation clause No. 56 of the Austrian Ministry of Magic will be issued to Nurmengard. According to the investigation orders, we have the right to investigate suspected wizards. All wizards that were inquired have a responsibility and obligation to cooperate with our investigation.”

Sean nodded, “Well said. Can you wait for the investigation order to be officially issued before you ask me?”

“Do you still not underst-“

Sean interrupted him, “Isn’t Mr. Ponte with you? You should be in the same group.”

“Mr. Ponte is responsible for the aftermath and communication of relevant personnel after the major accident last night. While we are responsible for questioning wizards who are suspected of breaking the law.”

He approached a little closer, “Including the accomplices related to Grindelwald, Mr. Wallup. Let me introduce myself, Charlie Maeterlinck, captain of the United Wizards Guard and the current leader of the special operations investigation team.”

Hearing that the team leader’s name was the same as their brother, the Weasley twins made a strange sound.

“Okay,” Sean nodded, “When the investigation and arrest warrant were issued, you can talk to me again.”

Sean didn’t stutter. No matter what the purpose of the Guards is, they know one thing is certain. They have determined that there is a connection between Sean and Grindelwald. However, with Dumbledore around, they couldn’t really arrest Sean.

Sean is not in the mood to play with these people anymore.

Maeterlinck did not show any impatience or anger. He just nodded, “Very well, we will meet again.”

After that, he didn’t have any intention of staying and quickly left the hall.

“Sean?” Everyone around him looked at him worriedly.

The other students had different expressions in their eyes, and most of them were amazed.

Sean smiled at them with relief, “It’s all nothing.”

It’s true. Even if the so-called warrants were issued, the Guards would not do much to him. The Guards probably wanted to use their authority to overwhelm him. If Sean was really an ordinary second-grade student, then this trick would work well, but it’s not to him.

Sean shook his head slightly. Just like what Grindelwald said, these guys really haven’t improved at all.

After breakfast, everything seemed to be calm again. Professor Rozier perfectly inherited Grindelwald’s teaching philosophy. Of course, the discussions among the students in their spare time cannot be stopped.

Sean was the only student who experienced last night’s incident. In the morning, many Nurmengard students who had nothing to do with Sean came over to ask him directly or implicitly.

Their principal has not returned, the professors are undergoing wave after wave of investigations, and the atmosphere inside the castle is uneasy. However, before Sean took the trouble to send everyone away, new news spread throughout the school.

Hermione was holding a newspaper in her hand. Her brows were furrowed, “Weird that they would send the news at this time.”

On the front page is Grindelwald’s face. In the black-and-white photo, he is looking at everyone with contemptuous eyes.

(The Life and Lies of Gellert Grindelwald)

It used more than half of the page to publish this article. The article described in detail the crimes Grindelwald had committed and even invited many so-called “victims” back then.

“The Dark Lord who destroyed half of the world back then. How did he become the principal of Nurmengard? What are the unknown mysteries hidden behind his philosophy?”

At the end of the article, an arrest warrant from the International Confederation of Wizards is attached.

“Whoever provides clues to Gellert Grindelwald, the International Confederation of Wizards, and the United Wizards’ Guard will provide a reward of 50,000 Galleons, and those who can arrest him will be rewarded with 500,000 Galleons.”

Sean shook his head. The bounty was not bad. As far as he knew, even Sirius did not have that much money. The only person in the world who can catch Grindelwald is not short of money.

Hermione also finished reading the entire article. She glanced sideways at Sean, frowned, and said, “Obviously, the early release of the news is to convey this information. In less than half a day, most of Professor Grindelwald’s reputation will fall.”

Sean nodded, “Things are just going to be bad from now on. Tomorrow, whether it is the “Daily Prophet” or any newspaper in various countries, they will spread the word.”

Although she doesn’t agree with Grindelwald’s philosophy, Hermione is on Sean’s side, and Sean is biased towards Grindelwald.

“Professor Grindelwald has already stood on the opposite side of the wizarding world. Regardless of the truth of the matter, the organization that controls the news was taking advantage of the situation. It is very difficult to reverse the situation. Sean, what are you laughing at?”

Seeing her expression, Sean scratched his head embarrassingly, “Actually, he didn’t even intend to revert the situation.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It means that he is ready to become the Dark Lord again.”

“Huh?!”

Sean shrugged. Grindelwald was indeed going to do this.

Hermione’s expression changed rapidly, and she even grabbed Sean’s hand anxiously, “Does that mean that the wizarding world is moving toward a war?”

“I’m not sure…” Sean shook his head, and he didn’t know what Grindelwald was thinking now.

Hermione was worried, “I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to graduate normally…”

“Well, that’s to be expected.” Sean shook his head and turned to the next page, then his expression became weird.

The photo showed the flaming giant standing on the outskirts of Paris last night with the Dark Mark in the sky.

“Death Eaters, A New Evil Force or an Underground Organization Developed by Grindelwald?” “

“According to eyewitnesses, the giant possessed terrifying waves of magic power that terrified everyone, and although it only appeared for a moment, it still caused a considerable amount of public damage. Two Aurors from the French Ministry of Magic heroically stopped the giant died in action, and the entire eastern suburbs of Paris were destroyed to ruins.”

Sean curled his lips. It’s not his fault. That big mouth killed the two Aurors of the French Ministry of Magic, and Grindelwald and Dumbledore did the ruins.

“It is reported that the giant was summoned by a group called the Death Eaters. We have not yet learned the true purpose of the organization, but it is suspected that this organization is an evil organization led by Grindelwald during his tenure in Nurmengard.”

“The two major official agencies have also issued arrest warrants for the Death Eaters. Those who provide valid clues will be rewarded with 500 Galleons, and those who help arrest members of the Death Eaters will be rewarded with 5,000 Galleons.”

After reading the report, Hermione looked at Sean worriedly, “This is the giant you mentioned last night? My God…”

“Well, more or less, and the Death Eaters don’t control the giant.” Sean blinked.

“But it’s scary. By the way, are the Death Eaters really Professor Grindelwald’s organization?”

“No, it’s another organization.” Sean shook his head firmly.

Grindelwald didn’t like the Death Eaters at all.

Hermione nodded, “However, this must be an evil organization, and the leader and members must be dark wizards.”

However, this also reminded Sean that the Death Eaters, who had been hiding for a long time, finally stood in the sun because of Voldemort’s appearance.

Later at night, another message came from Bellatrix. The Lestrange brothers were taken out of the prison on the next floor, and they may be going to be interrogated.

“Master, the loyalty of the two of them is still worthy of trust, but our whereabouts may be exposed.” Bellatrix said.

Sean nodded in bed. The Guards must have prepared a lot of things for them, even if the Lestrange brothers would rather die than surrender. Under the effect of Veritaserum, everything will be exposed.

In a situation where the Death Eaters were not exposed, thanks to their pure-blood family status, the Lestrange brothers might not have been subjected to these interrogations. But the situation is different now.

The level of the Dark Mark he gave to the two of them was not high, unlike Bellatrix, which could be temporarily hidden. As long as the Dark Mark was revealed by rolling up their sleeves, the Guards would have enough reason to interrogate them.

Due to the existence of Grindelwald and Dumbledore in the past few decades, the Death Eaters led by Voldemort didn’t dare to show up at all. If they found out now, then it’s going to be a bit of trouble.

His identity as the “Voldemort” could be used as a case against him.

Can Dumbledore help him in that situation? This is uncertain. He only has the right to speak in the related incidents of Grindelwald.

Sean frowned. Things changed too quickly. His act of deceiving the Death Eaters has now become his biggest flaw. The Lestrange brothers will definitely spill the beans, and someone may come to arrest him tomorrow morning.

The door of his single bedroom was slammed open, and a group of wizards in armor appeared in front of the door, holding their wands.

“Wallup.” Maeterlinck, whom he had seen in the morning, came, and his expression was cold and stern.

“We suspect you to be the leader of the organization called the Death Eaters, and you have been arrested.”

Sean looked at him with a blank expression.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Are the Guards using frame-up methods to arrest people now?”

“Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law,” Maeterlinck held up a piece of parchment and finally showed a smile at this moment, “Here is your arrest warrant. As I said, we will meet again soon.”

Sean slowly raised his hand.

“I warn you, if you try to resist in any way, don’t blame us for being merciless. Raise your hands, and don’t even dare to touch your wand.” Maeterlinck stopped, and the team members around him were already ready to move.

Sean slowly raised his hand. His eyes had turned cold.

The situation goes down really quickly for him.
